Education Minister
Christopher Pyne
is pushing hard to deregulate higher education with a blueprint for the biggest changes in 25 years.

The Australian Financial Review has launched a three-day summit, Driving the University Revolution, from November 12–14, 2014, to examine the Pyne plan in detail.

Key speakers include Mr Pyne and former UK universities minister David Willetts, who implemented the Cameron government’s higher education package.

Two UK vice-chancellors, the University of Warwick’s Nigel Thrift and the University of Newcastle’s Chris Brink, will deepen the international perspective, and University of California Los Angeles chancellor Gene Block will offer insight into what we can learn from the United States.
